The Danish manufacturer of recycling equipment Eldan Recycling has delivered a cable recycling plant to the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn in Denmark. The first machine of this recycling system, a Micro Module, was installed in the beginning of 2012 and has been running at full production during the year. In November the second machine, a Rasper R400-3, was delivered and successfully built together with the Micro Module. Eldan Recycling’s machines have a modular design which enables a number of different combinations.

“The modular approach is one of our trademarks. It gives our customers possibility to gradually grow their business as we see at the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn. The Rasper R400-3 will increase capacity and make it possible to process larger cables. We are very proud to have the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn as one of our new customers as they are situated in the same geographic area as Eldan Recycling”, says Mr. Flemming Hansen, Product Manager at Eldan Recycling

“Investing in this cable recycling plant is a way to benefit from our internal competence within waste management since we see a profitable business within the recycling industry. Eldan Recycling is well experienced and also a local organization that we know for many years. We have high expectations on the reliability of the equipment and look forward to start processing cables at full capacity,” says Mr. Jes Knudsen, CFO at the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn.

The cable recycling plant in the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn processes dry cables collected from building- and restoration projects within the municipality. The output material is sold to metal traders. The processing capacity will be up to approx. 400 kg per production hour.
